International Linking at Dunkirk.

At Dunkirk we have established links with two schools around the world. One in Lahore, Pakistan and one in Madrid, Spain.

Dunkirk Primary has had a link with The Lahore Lyceum since 2002.
We have had a number of teacher exchange visits over the years. So far 8 members of staff at Dunkirk have visited Pakistan. These visits have enabled both schools to plan joint projects and ways of working which make our school curriculums meaningful and fun. We look at global issues together such as energy usage and shortages of supply around the world. We then work together to find ways of addressing these big problems.

Linking with C.E.I.P  Parque Eugenia de Montijo, Madrid, Spain

Dunkirk Primary School has been linked with Parque Eugenia de Montijo in Madrid, Spain since 2006.  During this time, teachers from both schools have been fortunate enough to visit each other's school and countries.  As we teach Spanish to all children in Dunkirk, we use this link to practice the language for a purpose and to share work that we are doing.  The children also learn about the festivals and celebrations in Spain, this enhances their intercultural understanding and acceptance of other cultures. Our link with Spain is very popular and the children are fascinated when they are able to touch and read the work sent from children in Spain.
